Monarc FAQ

The Seeker throws passes at an electronically limited 75mph - this is faster than the fastest NFL Quarterback throw and allows us to reach full field coverage.

Absolutely! With a 6-ball magazine, you simply roll the Seeker onto a field, load up 6 balls and then select the drill you want to run on our touchscreen user interface. You place our tracking tag, known as the Pulse, on your hip, and press the button indicating you are ready to start. The Seeker will automatically track you and throw you an appropriate pass per your selections.

The Seeker has a built-in 10.1 inch touchscreen which is used to navigate the system software. The software has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use.

The Seeker has two main modes: Manual and Robotic. In Manual Mode, you select on the touchscreen where the Seeker is along with where you would like to place the ball. The Seeker automatically calibrates itself to consistently make those passes, punts or kicks to that location with the specified speeds and settings selected. Robotic Mode allows interaction with the Seeker to be fully dynamic. A user selects a specific function they would like to practice, puts on our tracking tag (known as the Pulse), and the Seeker then tracks them and makes an appropriate pass or punt.

You will be able to practice left and right-handed throws, left and right-footed punts along with end-over-end kicks. With our unique tracking algorithms, all of these passes and kicks can be tailored directly to you or intelligently randomized around you to enhance game-like practice.

The Pulse tag is used to track the athlete in real time and is required for all Robotic Mode functionality. In Manual Mode, the Pulse tag can be used as a remote for initiating passes or punts – by either the player or a coach working with a group of players.

The Monarc Pulse Tag can be used for 3 hours after a full charge cycle.

The Seeker is entirely mobile and can be moved anywhere on the field as it is powered by an onboard battery that lasts about 8 hours. This battery charges up in about 2 hours. In the event the battery is out, the Seeker can still be plugged in via extension to a standard 110V outlet.

Yes, defensive players find a lot of value in the Seeker by practicing highest point drills, picks and working their hands and ball skills generally.

The joystick enables users to launch the perfect pass/punt/kick simply by pressing the button. If you would like to make any adjustments without entering the on-field view you simply move the Joystick left, right, up or down as necessary. This is great on windy days outdoors where throws need to be minutely adjusted.
